Two sculptors known for their large-scale installations create environments of large inflatables and small objects that fluctuate between nature, decoration and fine art, landscape and fictional nature. Lee Boroson’s sculptures create an allegorical narrative by casting a cultural lens on what is perceived “natural”, employing water formations––a bubbling creek, waterfall and lake. Kirsten Hassenfeld frames the tension between the decorative and fine arts as a parallel to the concept of nature.

Serial drawings in two and three-dimensions extend the visual language of such artists as Mark Tobey, Franz Kline and Cy Twombly and explore various facets of drawing from material composition, physicality, process and emerging patterns, to relationships with other marking systems such as musical notation and calligraphy. The drawings were constructed over a period of days in collaboration with the art students, who interpreted and ”redrew” individual works.
